J1939 Can stream

[HarryBeron]

Hi im testing a machine monitoring telematics device that over tracks machine metrics such as Fuel level, coolant temp, rpm, engine load, and some other J1939 can bus standard vitals.

Is it possible to Setup a can bus stream so this device will connect to the can in a monsoon x ecu and i can monitor some of these parameters remotely?

It communicates on J1939 standard.

Im sure someone has set up something simular for a marine application which i believe is similar?/

OBD ISO 15765 is directly supported via CAN1 or CAN2.

You can also setup custom CAN streams.

Yes the ecu can work with the most common J1939 messages and PGN's etc, however I have found often many so-called universal J1939 devices very much lacking enough documentation to give you all the info you need to connect to it easily.  While the content and scaling etc of the J1939 message are generally well defined, the actual CAN ID's that a J1939 device broadcasts on differ based on its "source ID" and message priority etc.  If these details or the actual ID's are not stated in the documentation you have to make assumptions and use lots of trial and error until you find i.  If you have a sniffing tool you can see the transmitted messages easy enough, but working out the receive ID's can be more difficult.
